Re: I860 on GA-P55A-UD7 max temp

here,balanced throttles the cpu when idle but not at load,high performance runs the cpu at your full overclocked speeds all of the time for me 3.8ghz,but you will have higher idle temps than if you set it to balanced and it will still throttle cpu even when c1e is disabled in the bios

Re: I860 on GA-P55A-UD7 max temp

Nope lsd its a 20 cm top fan known as Antec Big Boy.

And no my two 480's ain't the cause. They do 44 and 39° Celsius when idle and never hit 72° under load with Afterburner fan profile enabled. Also added a fan in the side of the case directly blowing at their heat pipes.

Is it normal for the UD7 to have so much vdroop ?

When I set ex:1.3875 in bios then CPU-Z reports only 1.360v with llc on auto.
Other example: 1.425v in bios = 1.392v in CPU-Z

Using llc1 is even worse cause there seems to be no difference with auto setting except the voltage further going down under full load whilst llc2 is a chipset killer.(1.3425 in bios makes it going over 1.42v under load in windows)

Re: I860 on GA-P55A-UD7 max temp

I am still experimenting, now on llc1 and most hard overclockers at ES and the Overclockers forum are telling me a VTT setting of 1.40v cannot cause any problem ?

Made some changes to the airflow too. Changed the slow original Thermalright fan for a second Antec 12cm tri cool 79cfm fan and temps at 3.82GHz under Prime dropped to a max of 73° Celsius on the hottest core.
